Sterling City is a small town. Too small to hide in. Andrew's words, not mine.
"So you're not leaving me here?" I ask, confused.
Andrew's grip tightens around the steering wheel. "It's the first place they'll look. You're going to need some more distance from the Lycan King, just in case."
His words send ice through my veins. Of course they'd search Sterling City. It's the closest human settlement, so it makes sense I would run here.
"We're going to keep driving for a while, but first we need some food."
He pulls into a vast parking lot illuminated by harsh fluorescent lights. A massive blue sign looms ahead.
"Where are we?"
"Walmart. We need food."
The automatic doors slide open with a mechanical hiss, releasing a blast of cold air that prickles my skin. Inside, the store stretches endlessly, aisles upon aisles of... everything. So many things.
"Bathroom first," Andrew mutters, nodding toward the back of the store.
